In the early 1950’s artist Ted DeGrazia built a small adobe chapel in the foothills of Tucson’s Catalina Mountains. “It’s in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe, which is the first Virgin of the American Continent… She is a dark Madonna, like the Indians. The Indians love her. Everybody who hears about her loves her and so do I. And so I built this little Mission for myself… It’s not Catholic it’s just a little chapel for anybody who wants to go in there…” - Ted DeGrazia
